Phoenix will release their fifth album, ‘Bankrupt!’, on April 22nd on Glassnote Records. ‘Bankrupt!’ is the incredible follow up to 2009’s critically lauded ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix’, which sold over 1 million copies worldwide, was certified Gold in the U.S., and Platinum in Canada, Australia and France. The band also won the Grammy for Best Alternative Album. The track listing and album cover for Bankrupt! can be seen http://www.wearephoenix.com

With the success of ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix’ leading to a sold-out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2010, the band’s live schedule this time round is even bigger still. A string of U.S. dates will culminate in a Saturday night headlining slot at this year’s Coachella, before embarking on a string of European festival performances that kicks off by headlining the Thursday night at Primavera Sound.

And Lasso is my favourite on the album. I'll take my indie points to go please.

But srsly, I'm with Icarus. The only thing that might pit the 1st two above the others is that they were the singles, and so everyone was more familiar with them than with the rest. They've all got as much staying power as Lizst and 1901. Imo anyway.

It's good on first listen. Nowhere near as immediate as Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, although they've certainly gone all out with the bombast, synths etc. I'll have to listen to it a few more times before saying anything else.
